A Chris Matthews-esque Ode to Joe Biden

Mon Sep 22, 2008 11:19 PM EDT

I officially love him!! Warning that this is gonna be a Chris Matthews-esque love fest. I just saw a video of Biden on Bill Maher. He was great. He was explaining the situation with Iraq and what was so wrong with McCain's stance on it. True to form, it was no sound byte.

Fact Check Debunks Another McCain Lie About Obama

Seeded on Fri Sep 19, 2008 9:01 PM EDT (CNN)

McCain is fond of saying on the stump that Obama is against a comprehensive energy plan that includes drilling, solar power, nuclear energy, wind turbines, etc. That always ends up sounding like Obama would rather we stay dependent on Middle East Oil.

"First Dude"? More Like "Shadow Governor"

Fri Sep 19, 2008 7:23 PM EDT

So... Apparently blogging does serve some purpose. Alaskans interviewed by CNN say Todd Palin has plenty of influence. He's not on the state payroll, but lawmakers say he is a central figure in his wife's policy agenda.

Palin's transparency proposal already exists in D.C.

Seeded on Thu Sep 18, 2008 6:50 PM EDT (CNN)

She's such a liar. Not only does she know nothing about Washington, she's trying to take credit for coming up with an idea for Washington that Obama has already enacted, with just a few years in Washington. Sounds like her change is second rate.

McCain's Stance on Earmarks May Backfire

Thu Sep 18, 2008 12:32 AM EDT

So, McCain's a maverick, right? He's against earmarks and "wasteful government spending." That's cool, whatever. Some people like it. I happen to know the benefits of earmarks and social programs that benefit people.

For Obama, Race Remains Elephant in the Room

Seeded on Mon Sep 15, 2008 8:46 PM EDT (TIME)

Michael Grunwald articulates why it wouldn't do Obama any good to "get angry" and fight back. Oh he certainly should (and has started to) fight back harder. But taking on an angry tone as he does it will not benefit him. After all, it isn't yet 2042.

Rove: McCain went 'too far' in ads

How can you tell you've gone too far in a campaign? The former too-far Title Holder says you've gone too far. Karl Rove must have it out for John McCain. Why else would he go on record and say he's gone too far?

Obama accuses Republicans of 'swift boat politics'

Seeded on Thu Sep 11, 2008 12:05 AM EDT (CNN)

Obama is fighting back against the Republicans and there, dare I say it, lies. The word lie carries weight in politics and Obama isn't afraid to use it. Thank God. We don't want a repeat of 2004. Obama is no Kerry.

Chris Mathews Schools Kevin James Republican Pundit

"What happened on 9/11 was because all Bill Clinton did was talk." Yes, Kevin James actually said that. But that's not even close to the worst thing he said in this video. Political slander and talking points. I wish people were required to watch this.
